TUE DUDE AND THE BEAR
Bill Nye Again Rouses Up the Interstate
Commissioners.
(From the New York world)

(From the New York World)
Under tho Interstate Commerce Law
dog cannot rido on tho elevated road,
but this does not apply to other wild OF
domestic animals.
That is the reason that dude yester-
day, accompanied by o young bear,
weighing about forty pounds, success
fully evaded the tickot-taker and rode
down town on one ticket.
The dude wore ono Of those short
WASTED and sawed off ulsters, commonly
called Norfolk Jackets, but the cub wore
nothing but an air of defiance.
The two sat down near each other, but
the bear was restless. Finally ho jumped
up on the scat near a lady, who was
riding down town, and she went into
another car. There was good deal Of
room then near the dude, but nobody
wanted any of those seats.
There ought to be some ruling on this
question of bear transportation. 1t is a
matter that interests all Of us. Can wild
beasts and reptiles be classed as people,
while dogs are ruled out? Can q man,
accompanied by small dog, be barred
out, whllo tho owner of an elephant or
an active hornets nest may take his
property with him on his journey?
Here was clear case of wild beast
whose youth al lone prevented his eating
people, for he hungry enough to eat the
hind legs of railroad frog.
The question to be submitted to the
Interstate Commission is, whether tho
railways by thus leaving down the bars
are not, as common carriers, to admit q
gentleman accompanied by hyena, a
pet goat, an alligator or q rhinocoros.
Unjust determinations cannot be made
to the prejudice Of any one.
1t is to be hoped, however, that furth-
er complications may be avoided by
leaving the bears at home, and if the
owners can tear themselves away from
their bears during business hours and
leave them at home, it will do much to
restore travel to its normal condition.

A s.oried Wedding Ring.

In almost all ol tho marriages which
take place Mt Castle Garden police
man is obliged TO act rs best man to the
bridegroom. This is because these we'd
dings are kind OF leap year observance
in which the man Is wooed and in
which the Castle Garden detectives lend
their official influence to the lady's suit.
Detective Groden has been Mt Castle
Garden a good many years, has wit
messed great many weddings. and has
had the privilege also Of kissing the
bride. In the Catholic marriage service
a ring is indispensable. and often in the
hurry of an enforced wedding BRIDE
grooms have neglected to provide the
requisite. Detective Groden, in fact,
has had, many times, to hunt up ring
to the delay of the nuptials. Seven or
eight years ago it occurred to him that
property ring, SO to speak, would be Il
convenience, and so he bought one that
had all the appearance OF gold. That
it is really base metal he regards as a
matter of no consequence 10 the brides
who wear it for moment 1t is ring
and it is big enough for the finger of
any bride.
When Mr.. Groden bought this plain
plated imitation wedding ring, he said
to himself that this circlet was likely to
make romantic history for itself, and
so he laid it away in his desk and kept
record of the number of times it was
used and the names of the contracting
parties whose names were solemnized
With this same ring. Marriages are
reasonably frequent at Castle Garden,
and, during the seven or eight years
that this ring has been in use, have
averaged nearly one a week. A we'd
ding on Wednesday was the S54th in
the history of the ring. and the gilt has
not vet worn off M Y. Sun.

Spring Elections.

While Governor Foraker is urging

elections in Ohio, Governor Hill recon-
mends the institution offspring munich

Governor Hill says the law should be
essentially a spring election law and
nothing more, and that it should pro-
vide for municipal elections once in two
years rather than annually, thereby
avoiding the expense and the loss OF
public interest incident upon too fire.

ton is certainly better than that OF

A young man in the town of Lee,
Me-, is more strongly impressed than
ever with the Inconvenience of small
brothers. He harnessed up the old
mare and went to dance. After the
festivities he walked home with his
most fascinating partner, spent bliss
full hour with her, and then footed it to
his own room. After turning into bed
with his younger brother, at or 2
o'clock in the morning. he remembered
that he had left the old mare shivering
